On the Relationship between Design and Evolution
A longstanding question in science and religion is whether standard evolutionary models are compatible with the claim that the world was designed. In The Compatibility of Evolution and Design, theologian E. V. Rope Kojonen constructs a powerful argument that not only are evolution and design compatible, but that evolutionary processes (and biological data) strongly point to design. Yet Kojonen's model faces several difficulties, each of which rai…

Children's Productive Use of Academic Vocabulary
Instructional influences on productive use of academic vocabulary were investigated among 460 mostly African American and Latina/o fifth graders from 36 classrooms in eight public schools serving low-income families. Students received a 6-week unit on wolf management involving collaborative group work (CG) or direct instruction (DI). The big question that students tried to answer during the unit was whether a community should be permitted to dest…
Improving Children’s Competence as Decision Makers: Contrasting Effects of Collaborative Interaction and Direct Instruction
This research examined the influence of contrasting instructional approaches on children’s decision-making competence. A total of 764 fifth graders, mostly African Americans and Hispanic Americans, from 36 classrooms in eight public schools serving children from low-income families completed a six-week unit on wolf management, using either direct instruction or collaborative groups, or were waited-listed controls. Analysis of children’s essays on…

Free to manage? A neo-liberal defence of academic freedom in British higher education
Much of the rhetoric opposing managerialism in higher education can be ascribed to philosophical and political objections to the neo-liberal ideology which is alleged to underlie the phenomenon. This paper approaches managerialism from a different direction, addressing it within a neo-liberal framework. The paper argues that there is no intrinsic reason why support for a neo-liberal philosophy should equate with a belief in the need for manageria…
Children’s Moral Reasoning: Influence of Culture and Collaborative Discussion
This study investigated the effects of culture and collaborative discussion on Chinese and American children’s moral reasoning in reflective essays that they composed about a moral and practical dilemma. In contrast to American children who frequently expressed egocentric concerns, Chinese children exhibited altruistic tendencies and expressed more concern for maintaining in-group harmony, which are the core values advocated in collectivist cultu…
Testosterone in Newly Diagnosed, Antipsychotic-Naive Men With Nonaffective Psychosis: A Test of the Accelerated Aging Hypothesis
OBJECTIVE: Schizophrenia has been associated with age-related abnormalities, including abnormal glucose tolerance, increased pulse pressure, increased inflammation, abnormal stem cell signaling, and shorter telomere length. These metabolic abnormalities and other findings suggest that schizophrenia and related disorders might be associated with accelerated aging. Testosterone activity has a progressive decline with increasing age. METHODS: We tes…
Influence of Cultural Norms and Collaborative Discussions on Children's Reflective Essays
This study investigated the influence of culture and discussion participation on rhetorical patterns in the reflective essays of 238 Korean and 196 American 4th-graders. Results showed significant differences between Korean children's essays and American children's essays in types of reasons, uses of argument elements, and uses of rhetorical forms; but no difference in organizational structure. The effects of free-flowing collaborative discussion…
Influence of a Teacher’s Scaffolding Moves During Child-Led Small-Group Discussions
The influence of one teacher’s scaffolding moves on children’s performance in free-flowing child-led small-group discussions was investigated. Three moves were examined: prompting for and praising the use of evidence, asking for clarification, and challenging. Lag sequential analysis was applied to a corpus of over 5,300 speaking turns during 30 discussions to identify recurrent turn-by-turn patterns of teacher-child and child-child talk initiate…
The price of higher education: How rational is British tuition fee policy
This article examines the introduction of variable tuition fees for university students in the UK – an initiative that has become totemic in British higher education policy. The article seeks to identify the origin of this policy, using the work of Michael Oakeshott (1962 Oakeshott, M. 1962. Rationalism in politics and other essays, London: Methuen and Co. [Google Scholar]) as a framework for discussing the rationality of new Labour. The rhetoric…
Collaborative reasoning: A dialogic approach to group discussions
In this paper, we address the need to develop an empirically‐based understanding of the use of dialogue in teaching by discussing theory and research related to a pedagogical approach called collaborative reasoning (CR). CR is an instructional method designed to engage elementary school children in group discussions about controversial issues raised in their readings. CR is grounded in social learning and schema‐theoretic views of cognition, whic…

Graft down at City Hall? John Gunther, American book journalism and perceptions of European cataclysm in the 1930s
American hegemonic cultural theory, as originally derived from Gramsci, interprets American popular culture in non-American countries in the context of the overwhelming might of the United States in military, economic and political terms during and after World War Two. Culture here is associated with domination. This may have its uses in explaining the situation of today, but American popular culture had easily penetrated countries such as Britai…

Lifestyles and violence: Homosexual victims of assault and murder
Gay Fathers and Their Children
Depth interviews were conducted with a snowball sample of 40 gay fathers and 14 of their children. Questions addressed the nature and quality of the fathering as experienced by both the men and their offspring. Four issues often raised in gay parent custody cases are examined. Data indicate that notions about gay fathers' compensatory behavior, molestation of children, negative influence on child development, and instigation of harassment are lar…
